Note: Currently there is no SPArch installation media so you must follow steps along the lines of Install_from_Existing_Linux. Note also that there are not many repositories currently, and they don't have many packages.

In order for pacman to work, you may also need to first install some other packages. In Debian testing, I had to install xz-utils and libarchive-dev. I then had to install libfetch and openssl from the SPArch repository

Setting up a chroot

Building a bootable base system

Since packages are missing from the SPArch repository, you will have to build some yourself to get a working system. To do this, you will want to either install abs into your chroot or on your host (depending on whether your chroot has enough to compile what you need) and then modify makepkg.conf for building sparc packages.
